It wasn’t me.

The song “It wasn’t me” by Shaggy is perfect for learners to get a taste of diverse accents, despite the fact that its lyrics and MV may not be considered elegant enough for old-school teaching minds. Based on author’s teaching experience, learners (boys and girls) loved this song to the extent that some of them even memorized the lyrics and imitated the singers’ tones and intonations. Empirically speaking, the song is better taught at the level of senior high instead of junior high because junior highs may not be mature enough to focus on the features of accents or colloquial usage. Their attention may be diverted to the erotic side of the song and its MV, which is definitely not the purpose of teaching this song. What is worse, teachers may be haunted by phone calls from students’ parents for choosing the wrong song; surely it is not a part of their plan.
